Abstract

The study applies kidney algorithm for the optimization of reservoir operation for hydropower generation. The objective function defined for optimization is to minimize the hydroelectric power deficiency. Results of kidney algorithm are compared with those of bat algorithm (BA), water cycle algorithm (WCA), biogeography-based optimization algorithm (BBO), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSOA), and scatter matters search algorithm (SMSA). All algorithms are evaluated by Complex proportional assessment (COPRAS), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), modified TOPSIS, and Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS), as well as Borda count social choice theory. Then, vulnerability, time and volumetric reliability, as well as resiliency indices are used for comparison and multi-criteria decision-making indicators for selecting the best algorithm. It is found that no algorithm is ranked uniformly the best. Results indicate that kidney and particle swarm algorithms are ranked higher than other algorithms by most indices. Results of 10 random implementations of the objective function indicate that KA has a lower coefficient of variation and is computationally moe efficient. Further, most of the multi-criteria decision making models allocate the first rank to KA.
